Below is my card.  It is a standard size card (4.25" x 5.5").  I just love the colors of the kit! I turned my card into an Anniversary card instead of a Valentine Card--just right for two anniversaries of both my children this month.  Yes, both were married in December (on different days).  I also included the recent Freshly Made Skethes design #64 which I just missed the deadline on.
